In this interview, Ryan Murphy says a little more about the content of this famous episode, now eagerly awaited by fans of Cory and Glee : "In this episode, we will not tell you yet, or maybe not at all, how this character died.The way someone died is an interesting and perhaps morbid thing, but very early in the day. episode we say that it's about celebrating the life of this character.This may be weird for some people, but by doing it in a different way we would have had the impression to take advantage of the situation ".
 
He has already announced that the team would take a few weeks of vacation to recover from this episode which "was very difficult to write".
 
Cory Monteith, 31, was found dead in her Vancouver, Canada, hotel room on July 13th following an overdose of heroin and alcohol.
